Sports: Dodgers done and UCLA in the middle

The Dodgers were riding high mid-season then they had the slump from which they never fully recovered.

As they say winning helps cover up a lot of clubhouse infighting and it was so unseemly to see the team take to public sniping as the season came to a disappointing end.

There is blame to go all around. Some of acquisitions didn't work out, the veterans had injuries and underperformed and the kids showed promise but also made mistakes.

Its baseball. Wait 'till next year.

Meanwhile after seeing the BYU game at the Rose Bowl, I knew this team wasn't ready for prime time and they promptly got humiliated in Utah. They bounced back for wins against Washington and Oregon State.

Clearly, the class of the Pac10 are USC, Cal Bears, Oregon Ducks and Arizona State. UCLA might stake claim to being the #5 team in the Pac10. But soon enough, UCLA will have to play the aforementioned top tier. We shall see if UCLA can take any of them down.
